Maggie Hope writes an advice column and at the last minute fills in for a
friend/coworker to interview a local champion horse trainer for a
morning TV show. Not only is she out of her element in front of the
camera but also interrogating the handsome cowboy who has been in the
tabloids on more than one occasion.
Tru Monahan is leery of the media after having his name blazed across
some of the scandal magazines, not that the stories were legit. But when
he's interviewed by Maggie he feels sorry for her. When he boasts that
he can take a novice and have them able to ride a cutting horse within
weeks, Maggie challenges him.
With the threat to stand by Maggie's bet if she wants to save her
column, and Tru's being pressured by his sponsors to follow through on
the ultimatum, leaves the pair in a situation that neither of them are
thrilled over.
This is my first time to read a contemporary romance by Debra Clopton,
and I have to tell you that I was thrilled to find such an incredible
author. In fact, I was so excited, I ordered 16 more of her prior
titles. :) Betting on Hope had me turning pages and wishing the
story wouldn't end. Debra has a delightful way of getting into the heart
of her characters and breathing life into them so that the reader is
cheering for them to succeed. I give this novel a 5 out of 5 for
happily-ever-after endings.
